If the Carrack Advance is meant to be the bartering ship, when having max blue gear, it should be able to carry all types of barter max without going overweight even with sailors. I think right now there is no ship that does not go overweight when taking full barters of 3x L3. I can understand if it can only slot 4 sailors with max weight of full barters without going overweight but give an alternative so that bartering can be done efficiently with a ship that is meant to be the barter ship.

Edit: Just a point of clarification, when I say 4 sailors means you slot 4x innocents and you still have weight that could carry 28K LT for full barters. I am in no way stating to lower the cabin slots.

While I agree with you, there is also the problem of the barter update which is supposed to give us new barter items and we have absolutely no information about how much those items will weigh. However, I don't think the weight limit of the Advance will simply be increased because it would mess with the supposed balance or variety of the other carracks.

I propose a different solution to this problem which I have said before on these forums and I will say it again even if people hate me for it. We need new ship/ship gear. I think it's the best way to update ocean content and I will explain why:

If you sail for long enough, you will eventually have enough ship materials to build every ship in the game. This may sound unrealistic or even impossible to a beginner, but it is simply an inevitability because there isn't anything else that ship materials can be used for. This is why the Balance carrack doesn't make any sense because assuming that you have access to the other ships, you will never need to use the Balance again unless you just like deer.

My solution is to change the Galleon to be a permanently buildable ship. Currently, this ship is mostly useless and may as well not be in the game. It may seem good to beginners who only see the bigger numbers and assume that means it must be better, but in reality it is mechanically useless and any endgame sailor who actually knows what they are doing will see the problem with it immediately. It is literally vendor trash. It was always hated as soon as its mechanics were announced and I don't know anyone who actually likes how it works.

The current ship materials can be given a new purpose and the new barter items can be used for more interesting things than just silver profit. They can be used to make a Galleon buildable instead.

I know that people will have some common compaints about this so I will just address them right now:

This ship will require combining all other ships and will take 999999 hours to make!

Yes I know and that's what I want for 2 reasons.

1. When carracks became sellable on the marketplace people hated this change because it completely defeated the point of making   progress normally. The Galleon can be a new ship that is unsellable.

2. The reasons why the Galleon was supposed to tempeorary was because it is supposedly too big and it was meant to be unique. The Panokseon actually fulfills the role of a rare and unique unsellable ship better so these ships can just be made the function similarly instead.

The Galleon will be super overpowered!

It doesn't need to be. Panokseon is unsellable and it is only better than a carrack in very specific scenarios that will never be relevant to the vast majority of people.

But I already bought the expensive skin for my carrack!

So did I, but some people also bought dream horse skins and PA obviously doesn't care.

If I missed anything I want hear some genuine criticism about this and be proven wrong instead of just being downvoted by people who know nothing.

There are a bunch of cancel-culture loving freaks in the forums downvoting by names and not by content or just at random. You to ignore the 4-5 average downvotes,

nothing wrong with your ideas.
